Netscape

This just happened to me not five minutes ago.


Me: What kind of modem do you have?
Her: Netscape.
Me: That's your browser.
Her: Oh, that's right, let me go look at the modem.
*she goes away and comes back*
Her: It's a Wirespeed.
Me: Okay, what kind of router do you have?
Her: Netscape.

Where do these people come from?

"What type of modem do you have?"
"The one you gave me?"
"What type is that? I didn't personally give you that modem."
"The big box or the little box?"
"You have a router too?"
"Um I'm not sure. *long pause* The modem is a compaq!"
"Compaq makes modems? Are you sure that's the modem?"
"yes, it's the big box and my monitor is attached to it."
"Ma'am, that's your hard drive."
"Oh."

Aack! Don't teach them to call it a hard drive! It's so hard to break them of that later!

Printers are the devil.

I'm convinced there's a printer war, and us humans weren't invited!
